MOT booked... have to fix it now!
Xtreme Kermit - 25/3/10 at 11:06 PM

Trying to motivate myself to finish my diff/driveshaft swap...

So I booked the MOT for Tuesday PM...

All I have left to do is pop the old diff out, whip the new one in and pray that the driveshafts fit...

Oh - and tighten up all the suspension bolts deliberately left loose until I can get weight on the wheels... (note to self - don't forget this. Really - DON'T forget this...)

Anyone know which side has the longer shaft? Nearside or offside?

Give me a shout if you need some help.

We can get it there on Tuesday, by hook or by crook!! Would be good to see the flying kermit on the next SG7 - though i might not see it myself!!

Nearside shaft has left-hand thread on the end. So its easy to remember - Left left-hand thread, Right has right-hand thread.
